The trailer also highlights the new Mortal Kombat X Jungle stage, a lush and lavishly-colored ruin. Low-hanging vines interact with players allowing improvisational swinging attacks, and a stone pillar in the background serves as a prop for a brutal head-bashing maneuver.

The trailer concludes with a close-up of a new fatality. Kano uses an eye beam to burn through the back of his opponent’s head, revealing his face through the freshly-drilled cavity. Curiously, it is Kano’s seemingly-organic left eye which is glowing in this animation rather than his laser-retina. This begs the question as to whether any part of Kano is as human as it seems in Mortal Kombat X.
